拿來買賣、運送的東西
核心畫面本身：那一箱真東西，先是被賣，然後被載著跑。
products for sale · noun · B1
things that are made or grown so that people can buy and sell them.
商品；貨物
核心畫面
Picture a crate being opened: inside are real, solid things — shoes, rice, phones — things somebody made or grew, and things somebody will pay for. Goods is that crate-full of actual stuff, always plural, never one thing. Every later use keeps two features of the crate: it holds real things, and those things belong to someone or are owed to someone.

可以想成一個木箱被打開，裡面是實實在在的東西——鞋子、米、手機——有人做出來或種出來的，也有人願意付錢買的。goods 給人的感覺就像這一整箱看得到、摸得到的東西，永遠是複數，沒有單數形。後面各種用法都還留著這箱子的兩個特點：裡面裝的是真東西，而且這些東西有主人，或者是欠著誰、該交給誰的。Four branches
屬於某個人的家當
同一箱東西，但重點從「賣給誰」換成「是誰的」：搬得走的那些私人物品。
personal belongings · noun · B1
things that someone owns and that can be moved, such as clothes, books, or furniture.
財物；動產
該交出來的那批真東西
把箱子搬到人與人之間：你答應要給的、或別人要找出來的那個實物。這時 the goods 不再是商品，而是「真材實料的那個東西」——講的是有沒有真的拿出來。
deliver the goods · noun · B2
used in the phrases deliver the goods or come up with the goods: to do what people need or expect you to do.
不負所望；說到做到
被當成貨來看的人
箱子這次裝的是一個人。買東西前會先看有沒有破損，這個說法就把同樣的眼光放到人身上——所以它聽起來很不客氣。
damaged goods · noun · B2
used especially as damaged goods: a person whose past actions mean people no longer trust them or want their help as much.
聲譽受損的人
